The Cancer Survivorship Research Team Research Assistant

The Cancer Survivorship Research Team (CSRT) at Stanford University is looking for conscientious undergraduate student research assistants who are federal work study eligible or able to take course credit for this research experience. This is a fabulous opportunity to learn about cognitive neuroscience research methods, design, and practice as well as randomized clinical trials with breast cancer patients. This position would appeal to those interested in cognitive function, insomnia, or cancer. We are looking for research assistants who will help with neuropsychological testing and scoring, MRI scanning, scheduling, filing, data entry, scanning paper files to digital copies, and other responsibilities. We are looking for students who are very reliable, flexible, and eager to learn about cancer patients' cognitive and sleep domains as well as understanding the importance of the day-to-day grind in research. This is excellent preparation for doctoral training in medicine, neuroscience, public health, or health/clinical psychology. We require a schedule of one, uninterrupted 6-hour shift a week between the hours of 9AM and 6PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays, and a 3-Quarter minimum commitment, starting Fall Quarter of 2016. Because our study visits with participants must accommodate the participants' schedules, our student RAs are expected to be flexible and sometimes help with study visits outside of their specified shifts. Successful candidates will begin training immediately.

Interested students who can make the aforementioned time commitments should email Melissa Packer at mpacker2@stanford.edu with their cover letter and resume/CV.
